Brand Update: Castelnau - The Drinks Business Champagne Report 2019

In the 2019 Champagne Report from The Drinks Business a brand update was included on Champagne Castelnau.

'The managing director of Champagne Castelnau, Pascal Prudhomme, told the Drinks Business that Castelnau has hit a new high in sales, adding 100,000 bottles to its 2017 total of 760,000, ensuring the brand is on track to reach a target of 1 million bottles by 2020 - a milestone number set by the manager a few years ago following a rebrand. However, when asked by the Drinks Business whether Brexit might affect Castelnau's upwards sales trajectory considering the brand's strong sales in the UK, he said that the country's break with the European Union could actually favour his Champagne, because it has a wholly-owned subsidiary in the market - Castelnau Wine Agencies. "There is no solution to Brexit other than shipping a bit more stock now to avoid troubles [with supplying the UK] in the future," he said. "And because we have a UK subsidiary, Brexit could be good for Champagne Castelnau.'
